Very good tutorial.

With this clear information no doubt someone will shortly make a simple utility that does the formatting according to custom partition sizes specified by end user. Surprised nobody has already as only very basic knowledge of programming languages would be required.

Great work

@bebou007 I have read your thread now for the first time. You have found the method before me, but in your post you don't explain how to convert the bytes in HEX. It seems that you have found the size in HEX by chance.

this is exactly what I did not have the hex values ​​corresponded but I knew how to find a randomly using the partition table I could determine the value round

5GB
10GB
15GB
20GB

just put the value I give

this is my 3141card that explain what my thread has corresponded values

this is his that I've said very good tutorial as it explains well

Now what we need is an app to change the game by default directly from the ps3

select the game by default and offset 0x2000F

@haz367
"the reverse bytes" is only to do when you have to modify the hdd size in offset "1CA" and not when you modify the slot size.

Remember this thread for people with broken blue-ray drives ?
http://www.ps3hax.net/showthread.php?t=40854
Combine = win

The idea is to use a USB pendrive (with an empty but valid "fake disc image" of the smaller size possible) to be mounted as the real blu-ray

Now with this new method to make partitions they can try to see if it works, also, they can "hide" the USB pendrive inside the case permanently (a ghetto blue-ray fix)
